Important Health Warning: Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video
games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video
games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching,
jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of
awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling
down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor
if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents, watch for or ask children about
these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures.
The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen;
playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any
relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
WARNING Before playing this game, read the Xbox 360
®
console, Xbox 360
Kinect
®
Sensor, and accessory manuals for important safety and health information.

USER ACCOUNTS: In order to use the Software or a software feature, or for certain features of the Software to operate properly, you may be required to have
and maintain a valid and active user account with an online service, such as a third-party gaming platform or social network account (“Third-Party Account”),
or an account with Licensor or a Licensor affiliate, as set forth in the Software documentation. If you do not maintain such accounts, then certain features of
the Software may not operate or may cease to function properly, either in whole or in part. The Software may also require you to create a Software-specific
user account with Licensor or a Licensor affiliate (“User Account”) in order to access the Software and its functionality and features. Your User Account
log-in may be associated with a Third-Party Account. You are responsible for all use and the security of your User Accounts and any Third-Party Accounts
that you use to access and use the Software.
VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND VIRTUAL GOODS
If the Software allows you to purchase and/or earn though play a license to use Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods, the following additional terms and
conditions apply.
VIRTUAL CURRENCY & VIRTUAL GOODS: The Software may enable users to (i) use fictional virtual currency as a medium of exchange exclusively within
the Software (“Virtual Currency” or “VC”) and (ii) gain access to (and certain limited rights to use) virtual goods within the Software (“Virtual Goods” or “VG”).
Regardless of the terminology used, VC and VG represent a limited license right governed by this Agreement. Subject to the terms of and compliance with
this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants you the nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to use VC and VG obtained by
you for your personal non-commercial gameplay exclusively within the Software. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, VC and VG obtained by
you are licensed to you, and you hereby acknowledge that no title or ownership in or to VC and VG is being transferred or assigned hereunder. This Agreement
should not be construed as a sale of any rights in VC and VG.
VC and VG do not have an equivalent value in real currency and do not act as a substitute for real currency. You acknowledge and agree that Licensor may
revise or take action that impacts the perceived value of or purchase price for any VC and/or VG at any time except as prohibited by applicable law. VC
and VG do not incur fees for non-use; provided, however, that the license granted hereunder to VC and VG will terminate in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Software documentation, when Licensor ceases providing the Software, or this Agreement is otherwise terminated.
Licensor, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to charge fees for the right to access or use VC or VG and/or may distribute VC or VG with or without charge.
EARNING & PURCHASING virtual currency and virtual goods: You may have the ability to purchase VC or to earn VC from Licensor for the completion of
certain activities or accomplishments in the Software. For example, Licensor may provide VC or VG upon the completion of an in-game activity, such as
attaining a new level, completing a task, or creating user content. Once obtained, VC and/or VG will be credited to your User Account. You may purchase VC
and VG only within the Software, or through a platform, participating third-party online store, application store, or other store authorized by Licensor (all
referred to herein as “Software Store”). Purchase and use of in-game items or currency through a Software Store are subject to the Software Store’s governing
documents, including but not limited to, the Terms of Service and User Agreement. This online service has been sublicensed to you by the Software Store.GF
Licensor may offer discounts or promotions on the purchase of VC, and such discounts and promotions may be modified or discontinued by Licensor at any
time without notice to you. Upon completing an authorized purchase of VC from an Application Store, the amount of purchased VC will be credited to your
User Account. The Licensor shall establish a maximum amount you may spend to purchase VC per transaction and/or per day, which may vary depending
on the associated Software. Licensor, in its sole discretion, may impose additional limits on the amount of VC you may purchase or use, how you may use
VC, and the maximum balance of VC that may be credited to your User Account. You are solely responsible for all VC purchases made through your User
Account regardless of whether or not authorized by you.
BALANCE CALCULATION: You can access and view your available VC and VG in your User Account when logged into your User Account. Licensor reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to make all calculations regarding the available VC and VG in your User Account. Licensor further reserves the right, in its
sole discretion, to determine the amount of and manner in which VC is credited and debited from your User Account in connection with your purchase of VG
or for other purposes. While Licensor strives to make all such calculations on a consistent and reasonable basis, you hereby acknowledge and agree that
Licensor’s determination of the available VC and VG in your User Account is final, unless you can provide documentation to Licensor that such calculation
was or is intentionally incorrect.
USING VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND VIRTUAL GOODS: All purchased in-game Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods may be consumed or lost by players in
the course of gameplay according to the game’s rules applicable to currency and goods, which may vary depending on the associated Software. VC and VG
may only be used within the Software, and Licensor, in its sole discretion, may limit use of VC and/or VG to a single game. The authorized uses and purposes
of VC and VG may change at any time. Your available VC and/or VG as shown in your User Account will be reduced each time you use VC and/or VG within
the Software. The use of any VC and/or VG constitutes a demand against and withdrawal from your available VC and/or VG in your User Account. You must
have sufficient available VC and/or VG in your User Account in order to complete a transaction within the Software. VC and/or VG in your User Account may
be reduced without notice upon the occurrence of certain events related to your use of the Software: For example, you may lose VC or VG upon the loss
of a game or the death of your character. You are responsible for all uses of VC and/or VG made through your User Account, regardless of whether or not
authorized by you. You must notify Licensor immediately upon discovering the unauthorized use of any VC and/or VG made through your User Account by
submitting a support request at www.take2games.com/support.
NON-REDEEMABLE: VC and VG may only be redeemed for in-game goods and services. You may not sell, lease, license, or rent VC or VG, convert them
into convertible VC. VC and VG may only be redeemed for in-game goods or services and are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value or
other goods from Licensor or any other person or entity at any time, except as expressly provided herein or otherwise required by applicable law. VC and
VG have no cash value, and neither Licensor nor any other person or entity has any obligation to exchange your VC or VG for anything of value, including,
but not limited to, real currency.
NO REFUND: All purchases of VC and VG are final and under no circumstances will such purchases be refundable, transferable, or exchangeable. Except
as prohibited by applicable law, Licensor has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify, suspend, and/or eliminate such VC and/or VG as it sees
fit in its sole discretion, and Licensor shall have no liability to you or anyone else for the exercise of such rights.
NO TRANSFERS: Any transferring, trading, selling, or exchanging of any VC or VG to anyone, other than in game play using the Software as expressly
authorized by Licensor (“Unauthorized Transactions”), including, but not limited to, among other users of the Software, is not sanctioned by Licensor and is
strictly forbidden. Licensor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate, suspend, or modify your User Account and your VC and VG and terminate
this Agreement if you engage in, assist in, or request any Unauthorized Transactions. All users who participate in such activities do so at their own risk and
hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Licensor, its partners, licensors, affiliates, contractors, officers, directors, employees, and agents from all
damages, losses and expenses arising directly or indirectly from such actions. You acknowledge that Licensor may request that the applicable Application
Store stop, suspend, terminate, discontinue, or reverse any Unauthorized Transaction, regardless of when such Unauthorized Transaction occurred (or has
yet to occur) when it suspects or has evidence of fraud, violations of this Agreement, violations of any applicable law or regulation, or any intentional act
designed to interfere or that otherwise has the effect of or may have the effect of intervening in any way with the operation of the Software. If we believe
or have any reason to suspect that you have engaged in an Unauthorized Transaction, you further agree that Licensor may, in its sole discretion, restrict
your access to your available VC and VG in your User Account or terminate or suspend your User Account and your rights to any VC, VG, and other items
associated with your User Account.
LOCATION: VC is only available to customers in certain locations. You may not purchase or use VC if you are not in an approved location.

conditions set forth on or in or required by the applicable Software Store and all such applicable terms and conditions are incorporated herein by this reference.
Licensor is not responsible or liable to you for any credit card or bank-related charges or other charges or fees related to your purchase transactions within

liability for any such transactions, and you agree that your sole remedy regarding all transactions is from or through such Software Store.
This Agreement is solely between you and Licensor, and not with any Software Store. You acknowledge that the Software Store has no obligation to furnish
any maintenance or support services to you in connection with the Software. Except for the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
the Software Store will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Software. Any claim in connection with the Software related to
product liability, a failure to conform to applicable legal or regulatory requirements, claims under consumer protection or similar legislation or intellectual
property infringement are governed by this Agreement, and the Software Store is not responsible for such claims. You must comply with the Software Store
Terms of Service and any other Software Store applicable rules or policies. The license to the Software is a non-transferable license to use the Software
only on an applicable device that you own or control. You represent that you are not located in any U.S.-embargoed countries or other geographical areas

For the purposes all data privacy issues, including the collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of your personal information and other information, the
Privacy Policy located at www.take2games.com/privacy, as amended from time to time, takes precedence over any other statement in this Agreement.
WARRANTY
LIMITED WARRANTY: Licensor warrants to you (if you are the initial and original purchaser of the Software but not if you obtain the pre-recorded Software
and accompanying documentation as a transfer from the original purchaser) that the original storage medium holding the Software is free from defects in
material and workmanship under normal use and service for 90 days from the date of purchase. Licensor warrants to you that the Software is compatible
with a personal computer meeting the minimum system requirements listed in the Software documentation or that it has been certified by the gaming unit
producer as compatible with the gaming unit for which it has been published. However, due to variations in hardware, software, internet connections, and
individual usage, Licensor does not warrant the performance of the Software on your specific computer or gaming unit. Licensor does not warrant against
interference with your enjoyment of the Software; that the Software will meet your requirements; that operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or
error-free; or that the Software will be compatible with third-party software or hardware or that any errors in the Software will be corrected. No oral or written
advice provided by Licensor or any authorized representative shall create a warranty. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of or limitations on
implied warranties or the limitations on the applicable statutory rights of a consumer, some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
If for any reason you find a defect in the storage medium or Software during the warranty period, Licensor agrees to replace, free of charge, any Software
discovered to be defective within the warranty period as long as the Software is currently being manufactured by Licensor. If the Software is no longer
available, Licensor retains the right to substitute a similar piece of Software of equal or greater value. This warranty is limited to the storage medium and the
Software as originally provided by Licensor and is not applicable to normal wear and tear. This warranty shall not be applicable and shall be void if the defect
has arisen through abuse, mistreatment, or neglect. Any implied warranties prescribed by statute are expressly limited to the 90-day period described above.
Except as set forth above, this warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, whether oral or written, express or implied, including any other warranty of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, and no other representations or warranties of any kind shall be binding on Licensor.
When returning the Software subject to the limited warranty above, please send the original Software only to Licensor address specified below and include: your
name and return address; a photocopy of your dated sales receipt; and a brief note describing the defect and the system on which you are running the Software.
INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Licensor, its partners, licensors, affiliates, contractors, officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from all
damages, losses, and expenses arising directly or indirectly from your acts and omissions to act in using the Software pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM POSSESSION, USE, OR
MALFUNCTION OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES TO PROPERTY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COMPUTER FAILURE OR
MALFUNCTION, AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURIES, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR LOST PROFITS OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES FROM ANY CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER ARISING IN TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER OR NOT LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR’S LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES (EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) EXCEED THE ACTUAL
PRICE PAID BY YOU FOR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS HEREUNDER BY YOU, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION,
EVER EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO LICENSOR FOR THE PRECEDING TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD FOR ANYTHING RELATING
TO THE SOFTWARE OR US$200, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
BECAUSE SOME STATES/COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS AND/OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, DEATH, OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT, THESE LIMITATIONS AND/OR EXCLUSIONS AND ANY EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM THE ABOVE INDEMNITY
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE SOLELY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SPECIFIC PROVISION OF THIS WARRANTY
IS PROHIBITED BY ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR MUNICIPAL LAW, WHICH CANNOT BE PRE-EMPTED. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS,
AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
WE DO NOT AND CANNOT CONTROL THE FLOW OF DATA TO OR FROM OUR NETWORK AND OTHER PORTIONS OF THE INTERNET, WIRELESS NETWORKS, OR
OTHER THIRD-PARTY NETWORKS. SUCH FLOW DEPENDS IN LARGE PART ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INTERNET AND WIRELESS SERVICES PROVIDED
OR CONTROLLED BY THIRD PARTIES. AT TIMES, ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF SUCH THIRD PARTIES MAY IMPAIR OR DISRUPT YOUR CONNECTIONS TO THE
INTERNET, WIRELESS SERVICES, OR PORTIONS THEREOF. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT SUCH EVENTS WILL NOT OCCUR. ACCORDINGLY, WE DISCLAIM
ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO THIRD-PARTY ACTIONS OR INACTIONS THAT IMPAIR OR DISRUPT YOUR CONNECTIONS TO
THE INTERNET, WIRELESS SERVICES, OR PORTIONS THEREOF OR THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND RELATED SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.
TERMINATION
This Agreement is effective until terminated by you or by the Licensor. This Agreement automatically terminates when Licensor ceases to operate the
